Cook ’n Talk Odense Cook ’n Talk Odense is a social event developed and carried out by a group of volunteers that started in 2014. In May 2014 we held our first Cook ’n Talk session with 12 participants. We were afraid of not being able of fulfilling their expectations, but the event turned out to be a huge success. Today we are more than 450 members, and we are constantly growing. So far we have held around 20 Cook ’n Talk events. We have cooked dishes from Sudan, Iran, Mexico, Spain, USA, India, Malaysia, Bulgaria, Poland, Turkey, Palestine, Russia, and more. Cook ’n Talk gives expats and Danes the opportunity to make new friends, try out new foods and gain a better understanding of new cultures through its flavors and interesting conversations. Cook ’n Talk organisers International Community Odense International Community Odense is an initiative by the City of Odense. We are here to welcome international employees and their families to Odense, help them settle, and introduce them to social networks and activities around the city. Our ambition is to make the city of Odense a welcoming and attractive place to live, work and enjoy your leisure time. And we know that food plays a major role, when getting adapted to life in another country! Therefore, we hope you will enjoy flicking through the pages of the cookbook, exploring the different recipes from around the world – maybe you will even find a dish from your home country?
